Church in the Woods


Laurie has a fun video up on making more than one card at a time.

Hello! Posting this quick as I don’t feel that great today.
I know I am way behind on commenting and for that I am 
sorry!


I made my card first thing Monday morning
 but could never get a good photo.


I used a brush to blend on my inks, for me so much easier
 than a dauber.  I also used a ton of different Papertrey Ink 
stamps and dies for these cards. Sorry the picture is poor quality.

God bless you and may God bless America!

Play Here


Hello dear friends !
 Getting this in before I watch a few of the grandkids.


I have to admit I was in a hurry to make this so 
I used a larger stamp.


Look at this puzzle I found at Hobby Lobby yesterday  50% off!
Do you see, it’s a puzzle with vintage CARDS! I am going to 
make time for this. ( I hope)





I made these ordainments a few weeks ago and thought I should hurry and post them.
I glued about 5 layers with and a vellum layer in the back. 
Very much inspired by the  Jennifer McGuire video. 
They are so pretty in person as you can see the light behind them.

Thank you and God bless you all!

Just add plaid to your card using at least one Poppystamps product!

I am going to try and enjoy each day and not worry about tomorrow.

I kept this very simple, the sentiment is three layers

Cozy Up and Mistletoe



Blog
Hello! This will be my third and final post as Guest Designer for  Concord & 9th .
 I have been very honored and grateful. Thank You!

I so enjoyed using this new Cozy Up Bundle set along 
with Mistletoe Card Frame, add on die. The sentiment 
is from Happy Words 


I cut the heart twice, once with watercolor paper and once in fun foam .
The mistletoe is three layers thick and watercolored with Zig 
brush pens. Of course I had to add
some shimmer with chunky glitter! The berries are cut out of red 
velvet paper. 


The bow is cut out twice once in red and bottom layer is a dark craft paper.


The outside of my envelope!
Don’t see the little mistake of not connecting the a & r.


If you happen to like the paper trees in the background I made those with Concord & 9th 

Thank you so much for the visit today!

Christmas Birdhouse




 Lizzie Jones Lizzie has a fun video up and a beautiful
 card using this technique. 

Merry Monday #219 {Birds}
Hello! Hope you all had a nice weekend!
We took a drive up to the mountains to see the fall colors.
It was beautiful! We were blessed with a storm and lots of rain here in CA.

 I blended the background  with an old brush and a mix of spring rain inkers.
 My first two attempts were way too dark.


I always knew I was going to mix these two sets (Winter Village and Post & Parcel) 
and create a birdhouse . 

Thank You!
